Text filter transformer

Description

This transformer is processing text data before sending it to next transformer or to final recipient.

This transformer will not work correctly with binary data.

Text filter allows or blocks text data based on include or exclude filters.

It is highly recommended to add Line splitter transformer before this one.

Text Filter transformer properties:

• Enabled (boolean). If enabled, transformer will be used for data processing.
• Read only (boolean). If set as read only, the transformer will not send any data to next recipient.
• Case sensitive (boolean). If set, filtering is case-sensitive.
• Include filter (string): If not empty, allow data which contains specific string(s). Specify Filters Separator to define multiple filters.
• Exclude filter (string): If not empty, block/exclude data which contains specific string(s). Specify Filters Separator to define multiple filters.
• Filters separator (string): If not empty, Include and Exclude filters can define multiple filters. These multiple filters act as logical "OR" condition.

To achieve logical "AND" condition, just create more text filters, which will be executed sequentially.

Example: Include only data containing "TEST":

• Enabled: yes
• Read only: no
• Include filter: TEST

Example: Include only data containing "TEST STRING" or "BROWN FOX":

• Enabled: yes
• Read only: no
• Include filter: TEST STRING,BROWN FOX
• Filters separator: ,

Example: Include data containing "RED" or "GREEN" but exclude "BLUE"

• Enabled: yes
• Read only: no
• Include filter: RED;GREEN
• Exclude filter: BLUE
• Filters separator: ;

Example: Include data containing "RED" or "GREEN" but exclude "BLUE"
